The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 586 - 254: No Passage _3

"Someone must be backing him up if he dares to block our way in such a blatant manner."

"What should we do?"

The Blood Moon Sky Wolf is very upset, "If it wasn’t for the fact that he has lived a few more years than you, we could easily kill him."

"This clown dares to be so arrogant, isn’t he afraid that when you succeed one day, you will come back and settle the score with him?"

"That’s because they think I can’t rise to the occasion."

Ye Hanjun stroked the fur of the Blood Moon Sky Wolf’s neck, "Let’s go back for now, this place isn’t suitable for brute force."

"But didn’t you want to go to the Shattered Rock Prison?"

The Blood Moon Sky Wolf became even more confused, "Your kindred are there and their situation seems to be in trouble."

"Based on the intelligence gathered by old Wan Ming, this is the most convenient and quickest way."

"If we were to take a detour from a different place, it would take us a month or two to travel."

"It’s a sheer waste of this much time. I, Old Wolf, don’t mind, but your time, Your Highness, is too precious to be squandered!"

"I have a plan."

Ye Hanjun murmured, "Now that Liuying has passed the test, the major trial is over."

"With her childhood experiences, she isn’t someone who seeks attention. When facing danger or trouble, if she can’t solve them herself, she will definitely find ways to endure regardless. I believe this wholeheartedly."

"You mean to say Lord..."

Wan Ming’s breathing suddenly became heavy, as if he was surprised at his realisation.

"You guessed it."

"Since we can’t get through using brute force, let’s go the most legitimate way, give him no room to argue!"

Ye Hanjun, with cold eyes, looked at the steward. Seeing the steward’s smiling face, he instructed the Blood Moon Sky Wolf to leave directly.

...

"Wang Tu, how much longer will it take to carve the border?"

The border area, Ye Hanjun asked.

"Master, the territory is too large."

"With my ability, it will take at least a year to establish the most basic defense line."

Wang Tu didn’t look up, he was still squatting, carrying out the spell.

"I see, let me know if you need anything."

Ye Hanjun nodded, the Blood Moon Sky Wolf howled and plunged into the border, returning again to the Ghost Killing River area.

"Where’s the Milk Tyrant? Where did it go off to this time?"

"Lord! I am here! Lord!"

A black and white chubby ball rolled over.

"My Lord, I just produced milk and had to relieve the pressure, I’ve not been slacking off!"

"As per your instructions, I produce milk every day and then water the lands."

"Just look, in just over ten days’ time, the greenery I’ve watered has grown several feet taller!"

The Milk Demon·The Milk Tyrant proudly showcased his masterpiece.

Ye Hanjun looked over the lands on both sides. One side could only be described as "lush".

The other side had already sprouted countless demonic creatures of all sorts, such as Skeleton Giant Trees, Cold-blooded Vines, Demon Absorbing Grass, Intoxicated Evil Flowers...you name it.

"Not bad, keep up the good work."

"You have to keep up with the nutrients these days, don’t let yourself be drained. My requirement is long-term irrigation, not a short-term surge."

"My Lord, you care about me so deeply, I’m really moved! Boo hoo hoo!"

The Milk Demon wanted to lean closer, to show his affection.

The Blood Moon Sky Wolf kicked it and disdainfully escaped.

"Master Han, Master Han, should I continue planting trees?"

Yu Ruoxin disliked going out, but as a Daoist, her name held the same importance as Ye Hanjun’s, so sometimes she had to reluctantly go out.

On returning to her territory, she took a long sigh of relief, picked up her hammer, and with renewed vitality, started labouring once again with full fervour.

"I’ll help you."

"GuaGua, Goose Immortal, Huazhu...All of you, come and help!"

"Gua Gua~~~"

GuaGua drove the Sixth-grade Lotus platform to fly over here. He seemed eager to try this, clearly prepared for this game.

Huazhu did not utter a word. He used a whirlwind to clean up the sludge and dead leaves, then buried another batch of colorful seeds.

"Human Master, this Immortal is still busy training his little brothers, there’s no time to help you with this rough work!"

The Goose Immortal circled overhead, gave a perfunctory remark, and planned to escape.

Ye Hanjun took a glance at him, and said casually and indifferently:

"Alright, go ahead with your work."

"Right now you are only training the Avian Creatures of the Life Wheel tier, the ones of the Extinction Degree tier are caged up, and even if you go there, they won’t take you seriously."

"As for me, I’ve decided to help Yu Ruoxin, to make a concerted effort to promote her to the 5th Rank."

"If you decide to help, it could speed up the process a bit."

"If you don’t want to help, that’s fine too. We might lose a bit of efficiency, but it’s not really a big deal."

"Huh? You’re getting ready for advancement? You should’ve mentioned this earlier!"

The Goose Immortal who hadn’t gone far, made a half-turn and immediately flew back.

He crashed into the ground with a boom, using his iron wings to plow the land, working even harder and saying:

"Isn’t it just farming? For the sake of the future Holy Nest, this is nothing!"

"But...Human Master, when is Old Sha going to come to the Ghost Lamp Abyss?"

"And that Lao Liu, there were too many people before and it wasn’t convenient to carry the wild Fond Spirits that hadn’t bound the contract yet, you said you would send people to fetch them, how long will it be before they can bring them over?"

"At least three years, about five on average."

Ye Hanjun considered for a moment, then replied.

"That long?"

The Goose Immortal was stunned, and waved his wings:

"Nevermind, me, as the oldest brother, remembering them is already very generous."

"When they come, I will surely be at the level of the Extinction Degree fetus, and by then I’ll be able to serve good food and drinks which would suffice as a landlord’s hospitality!"

Mumbling, the Goose Immortal huffed and puffed doing the work.

The Blood Moon Sky Wolf was also busy, with a single swipe of its claws, it could easily split the rocky ground as if it were tofu.

Even more outrageous was the Abyssal Demon Worm, this creature didn’t understand human nature, but in terms of burrowing, its natural talent was unmatched in the Ghost Killing River area.

"Strike it, strike it!"

On the side of the blue-black river, a group of demi-humans with tortoise shells on their backs were hard at work, digging up stones and then planting seeds of the Black Magic Lotus.

"Swish, swish!"

At the bottom of the river, a group of semi-rotten mermaids swam around.

They sometimes caught some fish and shrimp to eat, sometimes collected the gory corpses and dragged them ashore, making for great fertilizer.

Ghost Killing River area —— was really a change of scene, busy with trades and crafts, distinctly different from its former barren and desolate state.
